The current owners have been in residence for the last 30 years, and this is the first time the home has been on the market in that time.

“About 15 years ago, [the owners] did quite a big renovation,” Ms. Geaves said. Among other things, they added on a glass-walled room with wooden beams that holds a hot tub. One of the owners, serving as the handyman, “sourced all those beams locally,” she said.

Stats

The 6,034-square-foot house sits on five acres of land. It has seven bedrooms and four bathrooms. There is also a separate cottage, a period barn built in the late 17th century and a triple garage.

Amenities

The owners have recently renovated the detached cottage. It has a vaulted living room with a log-burning stove, plus a kitchen, a bedroom and a shower room.

Meanwhile the home’s almost two-acre formal gardens have been open to the public as part of the National Garden Scheme for many years. The scheme was founded in 1927 in England with the aim of opening impressive and noteworthy gardens to the public for charity.

The rockery in Barhatch Farm’s garden was once a cockerel fighting pit, said Ms. Geaves.

Neighborhood Notes

Self-proclaimed as “England’s largest village,” Cranleigh has a population of around 11,200. It’s found in the south of the county, around 10 miles south of Guilford, Surrey’s largest town, and about 50 miles south of Central London.

Once upon a time, the property had 134 acres, however a substantial proportion of the land was used by the previous owner of Barhatch Farm to form the adjacent Cranleigh Golf and Country Club.
